Appendix A: Annunciators
Appendix A contains the following information:
Tables necessary for configuring the annunciator display; and
Typical annunciator wiring diagrams.
Note that Appendix A contains information specific to the AFP-400 only. For
complete annunciator installation information, refer to the respective
annunciator manual.
Overview
Annunciator
Interfaces
The AFP-400 provides Terminal Mode (LCD-80) and ACS Mode Interfaces
that provide high speed, two-way communication link to multiple annuncia-
tors. You can locate annunciators up to 6000 feet from the control panel.
Use the Terminal Mode Interface for communicating with LCD-80 Annuncia-
tors operating in Terminal Mode. In Terminal Mode, each LCD-80 display
reflects the AFP-400 front panel display. Each LCD-80 displays the complete
status of the fire alarm system and lets you do ACKNOWLEDGE, SILENCE
and RESET functions for the control panel from a remote location.
Use the ACS Mode Interface for communicating with the following LED/Lamp
type annunciators: ACM-16AT, AEM-16AT, ACM-32A, AEM-32A, AFM-16A,
AFM-32A, AFM-16AT, LDM-32, LDM-E32, and LDM-R32. The ACS interface
also communicates with the AMG-1 Audio Message Generator, the UZC-256
Universal Zone Coder, the NIB-96 Network Interface Board, the LCD-80
Annunciators operating in the ACS Mode and the ACM-8R Relay Annunciator
Module.
The ACM-8R Relay Module provides relays for controlling equipment located
at remote locations. The ACM-8R greatly increases the relay control capabili-
ties of the control panel. You can assign the ACM-8R to any of the 576 panel
annunciation points. Each ACM-8R module covers continuous groups of
eight panel points.
The ACS Mode Interface can annunciate CPU-400, zone, detector, module,
and circuit status. The 576 panel annunciation points are divided into nine
groups of 64 points, as shown in Tables A1 to A9. Each group can be as-
signed to one or more of the ten annunciator addresses supported by the
AFP-400.
The AFP-400 uses ACS Annunciator addresses 1 to 10. Each address can
communicate with one receive/transmit device. Configure other devices on
the same address as Receive Only. You can connect up to 32 devices to the
ACS output, all addresses combined.
Use ACS Mode Interface to ACKNOWLEDGE, SILENCE, DRILL and RESET the
control panel from a remote location. The ACS Mode Interface can also
activate output circuits and control modules from remote locations.
